The second annual fair Of Stockton Grange and
citizens of stockton was held at Grange hall We'd
nesday THE 18th inst Although the weather was
too cold for comfort, large company was in at
was quiet and harmonious throughout the day.
The stock and horses were exhibited in an adjoin-
ing field belonging to j. W. Thompson. Our halls
were well filled. The lower hall was devoted to
farm and garden productions, fruit and poultry.
Our farmers are deserving of credit for the
many articles Of excellent quality they produced
and had on exhibition. The upper hall was chief
ly used for the ladies' department and mscelane-
Gus articles and was filled to Overlooking. Its ar
M n very and Mss Ann

was fine array of ladies' ornamental and fancy
needle work, rugs. quilts, paintings, flowers, pre-
exhibited mounted birds and animals An ele-
CANT lamp frame and placques, designed and cary
ed BY II. Bradford, attracted much attention.
There were collections of ancient and foreign arti-
cles too numerous to mention in detail, cOntribl-
ted by the citizens but especially the captains
and their wives. This helped to make our fair in
teresting and attractive, for which we return our
grateful thanks.
SIXTY head of cattle were on the grounds; all
very gool and some thoroughbred animals There
were several good horses and fine blooded colts.
VIM. +. Black, of Searsport, exhibited twenty

poultry would compare favorably with any we
very fine birds were exhibited. Drummond Har-
rim.n, of searsport exhibited eight coops of thor
oughbred birds. W. F. Griffin exhibited novelty
among the fowls-a very dignitied live owl. W.

pies. We extend our thanks to our neighbOring
towns, especially our Searsport friends, for their
